In America we have the right to free speech. With every right comes a responsibility. One of the responsibilities of free speech is that if you speak disparagingly of someone you be able to back that up with facts.
One of the individuals that commented on the Independent Record blog yesterday said that all people who support certain school board candidates support the savage killing of innocent young men.That person can not back up that statement with facts. That is irresponsible and hurtful speech that does not move us forward in trying to get better schools for our children.
I hope as we go forward with this campaign that everyone will take the responsibility of free speech very seriously. Research the candidates and make your own thoughtful decision based on the facts. If you are reading this undoubtedly you are one of those fair and thoughtful people that do that research.
"Just The Facts Ma'am"
